Despite repeated efforts, the torch failed as a lighthouse, and the holes allowed water to enter the statue and caused rusting and damage. The original torch is now on display in the museum, and has been replaced with a solid torch covered in gold, which reflects the sunlight and city lights. The new torch accurately achieved the sculptor's vision for the Statue of Liberty.
We are Laura and Gordon Bornkamp. We have been retired for 22 years and full time traveling for 21years...we are still traveling for many months but by car and motels....a big change but we love our life and where we live in Pahrump, Nevada at the Escapees Park.
